i'm convince that liberals and conservatives alike only go by what their in-group says and they become leftists and independents once they spend more than the average amount of effort to scratch beyond the surface.

this and macron creating a conservative government despite leftists winning the most votes in france makes me wonder if a leftist victory is ever possible.

they had "death panel" conspiracy theories when they tried to do the affordable care act and the brainwashing was so effective that private insurance still dominates and the affordable care act is likely to die out.

At least their "centrists" match our "centrists" so now we can have apples-to-apples comparisons

The hedge funds needs to show increased value for shareholders so quit complaining and remember to vote for one of the establishment candidates so that it'll be 98° in 2030

The culinary workers union has tiered system where only very few get true union like benefits and it's an open secret that they're controlled by the casinos; they're only technically a union and were created to prevent true unions from forming.

pizza hut in the small town i grew up in stayed like that until the 2018 when the sole owner died and his inheritors outsourced its management rather than returning to bfe to run it (i don't blame them) and i feel like that's how most older establishments enshittify.

there was no way he was making money, but he CLEARLY loved pizza & people and was happy doing it.

i wish i had advice to offer you, but i'm in a similar boat with my senior cat.

i was devastated when my senior dogs & cats passed away and i was able to weather it each time it happened thanks entirely to my other pets commiserating with me; my 16 year old cat is the last one left alive and he's been by my side through all of those deaths.

the bar for approval to get another pet from the shelter is far too high; too long; and too invasive were i live for my attempts to be successful, so i've only adopted pets that i found on the streets and those that others wanted to surrender to the shelter.

i'm on the spectrum which makes human relationships very difficult to create and maintain, which means that my cat is my life.

i cannot express how much i dread the inevitable day that i have to see him suffering once he gets ill and i have to decide to it's best to end his life.

i hope you're better prepared than i am.

Rep. Rashida Tlaib: “But Palestinians are not just numbers. Behind these numbers are real people — mothers, fathers, sons, daughters — who have had their lives stolen from them and their families torn apart. And we should not be trying to hide it. These are innocent children and babies who have been bombed in their tents, burned alive, dismembered and deliberately starved to death. Where is our shared humanity in this chamber? There is so much anti-Palestinian racism in this chamber that my colleagues don’t even want to acknowledge that Palestinians exist at all, not when they’re alive and now not even when they’re dead. It’s absolutely disgusting. This is genocide denial.”
